76 Soras Tes (1/2)
Having made their way to the Mages Guild Alice was barely surprised to see how grand the building looked. The building itself was made from white brick and had the Guild's flag draped over the front while the top of the building was shaped to a point with a metal rod sticking out of it.
”What is with the rod at the top? ” Alice asked curiously.
”That is so the researchers at the guild can draw power from lightning strikes to help them further develop more advanced spells, or so i'm told. ” Joey replied as they made their way into the overly decorated lobby where people in White robes walked around and chatted with each other.
”Is there anything I can help you with today? ” A elderly woman dressed in a blue robe asked while walking up to them.
”Ah yes, we are here to have my daughter get her elemental tests done. Where do we sign her up? ” Alan asked as politely as he could.
”I can take you to register but are you sure you have the fee that is required to test a child? ” She asked, not hiding the fact she was judging how they looked wearing worn down armor and cheap weapons.
”We have the money. ” Alan replied, pulling out the golden coin.
”Follow me, but so you know if it is found out that you obtained the money in illegal ways our guild will come after you and your family. ” She replied, leading the way for them.
”No need to be such a bitch.. ” Alice said under her breath not liking how rudely she was treating her new friends.
”Excuse me? ” The woman said, turning to face Alice.
”I said there is no need to be so rude to people who are here to have their child tested. ” Alice said, taking a step closer to her.
”You have no right to speak with me this way. I will explain things for you since you seem to accompany such people and do not know any better. White robes are people with one element and the lowest ranked members in our Guild. Blue robes like myself have two elements and are higher ranked here in the kingdom not just in the Guild here. I would watch your mouth if I was you little girl. ” The lady sneared.
”Oh? I guess Mages Guild ranks go based on how many elements you can control here? That would make me your superior. You should watch your own mouth. ” Alice replied, getting annoyed with the arrogant elderly women.
”Hahahaha! That is funny, do you know how rare it is to have more than two elements little girl? That is not a lie you can just go around telling people. ” The woman laughed thinking Alice was trying to gain ground on her through a lie.
”What is happening here Karen? ” Another man in a blue robe said, walking over after hearing the dispute between her and Alice.
”This girl here thinks that she has three elements and even dares to call herself my superior. ” Karen replied, still smiling.
”My name is Wayne, would you mind showing me your elements? I will apologize for my colleague after seeing you are indeed who you say you are. ” Wayne said politely.
Seeing Alice grin at the challenge Alan pulled his daughter closer to him not knowing exactly what to expect from Alice at this point.
Causing the wind around her to swirl around her Alice slowly lifted off the ground as she created a fire in one hand and pulled her scythe out of her inventory with the other. ”Ready for your proof? ”
Finishing her question Alice she infused the Light element into her weapon causing a blinding light and disappearing from the room all together once the light went away.
”Where did Alice go daddy? ” Sora asked, looking around looking for her.
Coming out of the woman's shadow behind her, ”Boo ” She whispered in her ear causing Karen to jump forward and then released her mana's pressure to show off a little.
”WHO DARES CAUSE TROUBLE IN MY GUILD!?!?!? ” A slim man with pointed ears ran out of one of the rooms carrying a staff with a red gem at the top ready to attack.
Falling on her ass Karen looked at Alice with fear, ”Im.. sorry.. ”
”I am sorry as well miss Alice it was. ” Wayne said with a small bow of his head remembering what Sora called her.
”DAMNIT DONT IGNORE ME! ” The Guild master said, rushing over to them red in the face.
”That was not our intention Xan, I am pleased to tell you that a special person has graced us with a visit today. ” Wayne said politely, trying to calm Xan down.
”Your employee is very rude. We are only here to get this child her elemental test. ” Alice said, walking over to them not wanting to waste the momentum she just created.
”Xan! I am so sorry i didn't know she was serious! ” Karen yelled out, not wanting to be kicked from her position in the guild.
